Operating Your Ceiling Fan
Your Harbor Breeze Southlake ceiling fan is controlled by a pull chain for fan speed and another for the light.
Fan Speed Control
The fan features a 3-speed reversible motor. Pull the fan speed chain to cycle through the following settings:
- 1st Pull: High Speed
- 2nd Pull: Medium Speed
- 3rd Pull: Low Speed
- 4th Pull: Off
To reverse the direction of the fan blades (for summer or winter operation), locate the slide switch on the motor housing. Ensure the fan is off before changing the direction.
Light Control
The integrated light kit is controlled by a separate pull chain. Each pull will toggle the light On or Off.
Care and Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
- Tightening Screws: Check all screws, especially those on the blade attachments, at least twice a year. Tighten any loose screws to prevent wobbling and noise.
- Light Bulb Replacement: If the light kit uses replaceable bulbs (this model has a built-in light source, so replacement is not typically user-serviceable for the LED/fluorescent component itself, but the frosted shade can be removed for access if needed for cleaning or professional service).
- No Lubrication Needed: The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require oiling.
